Over 300 colleges and universities contract with SMARTHINKING to improve student success and save money. SMARTHINKING helps colleges:

Using SMARTHINKING, institutions can provide a broad level of tutoring support to all of their on-campus, satellite-campus, and online students. By consolidating services online, fewer physical facilities are necessary, and tutoring resources can be used and managed more efficiently. Further, such services can be provided at more convenient hours and can be accessed from anywhere, enabling students to get the help they need when they need it. Finally, individual and aggregate student usage information is collected and transcripts of every tutoring interaction are provided to the college.

How do students and tutors interact?

Students work in real-time with an tutor, submit questions or essays for a next day response, or pre-schedule online appointments. Students communicate with tutors using a virtual whiteboard technology. Scientific and mathematical notation, symbols, geometric figures, graphing and freehand drawing can be rendered quickly and easily.

How does my college buy it?

A college can purchase a block of tutoring hours for its students to use. SMARTHINKING deducts time from the college's account as the college's students use SMARTHINKING's tutoring services. SMARTHINKING also has an introductory offer for first-time clients based on a school’s FTE count. Please contact us for more information.
